Introduction

The book “A practical Guide for Policy Analysis” was written by Eugene Bardach in which he proposes a model of policy development and an approach of problem solving by means of eightfold path. The model of Bardach defines the problem, identifies alternatives and followed by affixes a projected outcomes set. After that, Bardach finds out the magnitude and nature of the exchange implied in diverse policy alternatives. Finally, he proposes which choices must be selected. He uses top-down approach for implementations of policy. The reading of Bardach model has apparently defined objective; problem solving - it surrounds an apparent defined a tool of policy such as “the eight-step path;” however, it does not have any chain of implementation. In addition, Bardach does not take account of receiving bureaucrats' feedback.

This paper explores to what extent the model of policy development in Australia take account of outcomes, citizen engagement and analytical and political dimensions of policy development in relation to the Bardach model.

Discussion

Outcome is essential for any project or policy; hence, it is important for policy makers to formulate policies; especially while devising policies of public sector. The effectiveness of policy can be analyzed by its effectiveness of outcomes. Model of Bardach proposes, to evaluate the uncertain and complex scenarios for the fundamental choices joint with their alternatives, a matrix of outcomes is employed in the policy analysis. All information overview is projected and displayed outcomes are prearranged an emblematic descriptor. In the criteria columns, the information project how the choices have an effect on the value that is being computed and in what dimension the transformation will take place.

Based on the evidence of government public sector policy, and the negative effects on Australia, many criteria has been chosen to consider several alternatives of policy regarding the problem and make the most of the public value outcome. A matrix of outcome will be employed in analysis to evaluate options. The exchanges between the choices will be scrutinized, directed to a policy suggestion arises from the problem of government public sector policy in Australia. At the analysis core, there is an obvious criteria delineation developed for evaluating the diverse alternatives of policy. The anticipated criteria lessen the information asymmetry connected with lot splitting, decrease free requirement issues, and make use of institutional and political theory to estimate viability (Bardach, 2008: 11-120).

Policy analyst of Australian public sector deemed to consider engagement of citizen in policy making. The first initiative is the rider by management of information for citizens. This is seen as a one way association considering both active measures employed by regime to broadcast information and passive information access when demanded. Second initiative refers to the consultation that is a two-way association where citizens are provoked by government to get engage b providing feedback on particular issues. This trade-offs is formed on the prior definition of government on these issues, as well as government giving background ...
